I have to disagree there, the name gives them a flying start and probably=20 guarantees at least a *few* sales. What it won't do is make a bad product good (or candy from shit to borrow=20 the handy Russian proverb..) and as has been mentioned, people will quickly= =20 discover this and stop buying it. To help make my point - would we be even be discussing a similar product=20 that did not have a recognisable name? If we are then it's likely other=20 people are, and if other people are then I'm betting a few people will want= =20 to try one out, if only to put it on display next to their old one :-)=20 --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
